Sly | Single Monk Strap Loafer

Look like a high roller with these genuine, high quality alligator loafers. Looks perfect with a zoot suit. 

The name is derived from straps traditionally found on monks’ sandals. It’s a quite practical shoe that is technically a loafer because it’s a laceless shoe that can easily be slipped on. Some men loathe them, some men swear by them, but regardless of your stance this hybrid formal/casual shoe is here to stay.

Monkstrap shoes are best worn with pants that are more tapered with a modest leg opening. The narrower at the open the better.

If your pants are too wide, they may get caught on the buckles and create a sloppy appearance. Additionally, you want for your pants to just barely skim the shoe’s leather, allowing for the buckles to have the spotlight.
